How Can I Load a Third-Party Format in BATTERY 4?

BATTERY 4 is compatible with several third-party file formats such as EXS24, APPLE LOOPS, ACID, GIGASTUDIO and RECYCLE. For a comprehensive list of all BATTERY 4 compatible file formats, please refer to the Reference Manual located within the BATTERY 4 application directory.

This article will explain how to load an EXS24 instrument within BATTERY 4. The same process applies to all other BATTERY 4 compatible file formats.

Open BATTERY 4 in standalone mode or as a plug-in within your sequencer.

Click on the Files tab.

The Files section displays your computer’s hard drives and files in a familiar tree structure. Navigate to the directory containing your .exs file. In this example the folder is named my files and contains the .exs file "loop.exs."

To load the instrument and its respective samples, either drag and drop the file to a free cell or double-click on it.
